Structural and magnetic studies of a new intermetallic compound: Er2Cu10.9Ga6.1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 February 2012
Abstract
A new ternary phase, Er2Cu10.9Ga6.1, has been found in the Er-Cu-Ga phase diagram. X-ray powder diffraction data were successfully refined based on a rhombohedral Th2Zn17 structure type (space group R-3m, No. 166) with cell parameters a=8.6627(1) Å, c=12.6824(2) Å, and Z=3. Er2Cu10.9Ga6.1 exhibits a paramagnetic Curie-Weiss behaviour down to 2 K with a trivalent character of Er atoms.
